Seeing as he died relatively young he was never able to shed and mature through his teenage delinquency. Most people saw him as a deviant while he saw himself as the anti-hero to his own personal story. His methods might have been questionable and standoffish, but he never succumbed to the forces of evil. Despite his behavior and how bullied other children who were two weak for him to stomach, he always remained deep in his convictions of remaining as the hero, or rather a hero. Besides his feverishly short temper, Kizu is crude, violent, arrogant, and aggressive. Kizu refuses to be helped by anyone, weakness is the one disease he does not want to be plagued by. Most often than not, people see his behavior as an outcry for help, but when they reach of a helping hand he smacks it away leaving himself to deal with his own devices. His violent and aggressive tendencies lend themselves to his love for battle, all things violent and confrontational he welcomes with open arms. His brutality and bloodthirst are put on poignant display as he seems to get off on battle, riding it like a high as if he were an addict. Battle was all he knew, while he was relatively bright, pursuing knowledge over strength was never a priority in his life. Sculpting his path to infamy with his own hands appealed more than someone telling him what to do. His personality reflects his fighting style: mercilessly assaulting the opponent and having no regard for nearby objects, merely destroying them with his power. Despite this, he's quite talented in fighting, He's also very intelligent, being able to change strategies on that fly and reacting to his environment. Kizu has a superiority complex and wants to be the best fighter. He doesn't like when people look down on him, as if they were superior; thus, it diminishes his already short fuse. Despite his extreme arrogance, he also thinks of people who are weak as food for the strong. Because of his complex, he's quite anti-social; he seems not to care for much people as he doesn't names or most faces. Beyond that, Kizu also immensely prideful, as he hates the idea of others either helping him or having to rely on others to assist him in battle. Because of his pride, Kizu refuses to work together with others, claiming he can do whatever he's assigned on his own. This volatile cocktail of traits has left him the perfect fit for being a Shinigami and entering the academy on his own accord. [color=black]—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color] [color=gray]【[U]History[/U]】[/color] Kizu had a pretty average life for the most part, his parents were in the picture and quite endearing with young Kizu, but that never prevented him from becoming such a troublemaker. His father was quite the submissive type never wanting to experience confrontation, despite this he loves his family very much and disapproves of Kizu’s behavior. His mother is similar to Kizu in the way she’s short tempered and aggressive which seems to be the genetic trait Kizu received. However, she is more refined and mature than Kizu is while also disapproving of his behavior. Regardless, Kizu was still the big dog on campus since his earliest years. From as little as elementary school to high school, this budding tough guy was largely a bully that everyone feared and refused to fight. Of course his aggressive and dominant personality attracted other unsavory types. Except for the fact they were more passive and cowards who just seemed to build up Kizu’s actions. While he hated cowards he didn’t’ mind having a hype man at his side. Eventually Kizu became the unspoken king of high school, it was almost as if people threw roses at his feet, but out of fear instead of admiration. That’s when the start of the end or rather the beginning of the end occurred. One boring and lame day in the streets of Hokkaido led to the sudden inspiration for the next big rush and thrill. Kizu always loved foreign culture especially weapons and games that they did not have in japan. On this particular game Kizu decided to usher in the lethal game of chance from their Russian neighbors, Russian Roulette. While his posse were apprehensive to play at first they were too dumb to realize the extent Kizu was willing to go. The only thing was Kizu managed to get his hands on an actual unlicensed revolver with a bullet to match. Loading up the chamber and spinning the chamber, he cocked the hammer back and turned the safety off. One by one the angsty high school children passed the gun around sheepishly laughing as the chamber click empty. It was finally Kizu’s turn and he couldn’t have snatched the gun out of his friends hand faster than the actual bullet in the chamber. With no hesitation or sign of sweat running from his head like the rest he yelled and pulled the trigger. His vision went black, he was falling into darkness while watching his death from the eyes of a passing swallow. The gun had gone off as planned and the bullet pierced his temple leaving a cross shaped wound on his temple and a large perforated exit wound on the opposite end. His eyes were lifeless as his body slumped back while the boys exasperated in fear and disbelief. Even in the mayhem and crisis faced by the boys and the life he was leaving behind, Kizu simply just smiled and prided himself as establishing himself as the ultimate badass of the world of the living. Thinking this was his end and there was nothing on the other side, Kizu accepted his fate. However the world was not yet done with him, at least the soul society was not. Waking up to an unfamiliar world, Kizu was left quite confused as to why he was still alive, when he really wasn’t. Being reborn as a soul he was thrown to the wolves in the furthest reaches of the Rukongai, District 85 (気兵 Spirit Soldier) was his new home. The outskirts seemed to fit him well, he enjoyed the sight of the barbaric society all around him. The sudden change to more radically traditional japan and the violence and greed surged right through him. Before he could throw himself into the fires of discord he would be adopted by a nearby family. Try as they must they attempted to help Kizu as much as they could trying so desperately to integrate him into their family and quell the rising tide of anger and aggression mounting in the young boy. Eventually Kizu decided to leave and separate himself from them all together not wanting anyone’s help but his own. As he progressed through the slums of Rukongai at the world’s twilight he stumbled upon what appeared to be an underground fight club. The sparkle in his eyes were almost akin to the stars igniting the night sky. Doing first thinking later, Kizu jumped head first at the chance to join said fight club. Adamant at first but quick to turn their heads to a quick buck and the chance of an orphan nobody dying, appealed to the ringmasters. This is where Kizu thrived and the beginning of the formation of his reiatsu and reiryoku began to take shape. Without realizing it himself with every battle and match he was simultaneously training his body to possess higher Reiryoku and strengthen his Reishi. His body was achieving exceptional spiritual energy which was quite prominently on display on the matches he won so easily. Kizu became the undefeated champion of the fight club and no one dared bet against him. However just as sparrows do, they cannot stay in the same place for longer than needed to. Growing tired and bored of the fight club, Kizu took his winnings and left in search of the next big challenge. No one dared stopped him unless they wanted to face his wrath. Walking from the outskirts to the center of Rukongai he noticed the natural progression of higher echelon living, the world slowly started to remind him of home, and a sparrow will tend to visit their nest. The untamed rabid dog made his way to what appeared to be the Shinigami academy who recognized his overflowing spiritual energy. This was enough to grant him access without a few stipulations first, he had to reform some of his behavior to that of when he was in school and clean up regularly as there were no showers from the outskirts he hailed from. Eventually Kizu worked his way up to a high ranking seated officer, one next in the selection process to join the ranks of future lieutenants and eventually captains. Kizu didn’t care for the money or the perks of being a Shinigami nor was he too excited about using a Zanpakuto rather than his fists, but he became surprisingly comfortable with the blade and eventually began to prefer it. Besides swords could cut and tear while his fists could only do so much. The rest of his adventure awaits as he joins a group of unruly acquaintances, this would be [i]fun[/i].

Having two short swords or daggers, frees Kizu up to work in short range and close quarters combat. Having been an expert in close quarters with his fists he excels at this type of combat. He’s both explosive and deceptively fast with his attacks. Having removed thought from his distractions his body acts freely and naturally in the flow of combat not having to worry about thinking twice. Having his body react on his own does not mean it’s not susceptible to harm nor does it make one completely aware to their surroundings. Not having to think about his attacks prevents him from slowing down or weakening them. To make up for his absent thought process regarding his surroundings, his battle genius comes into play, utilizing guerrilla tactics and strategies he’s able to subvert most unsettling outcomes, but not all. To make up for his novice talent in hoho, Kizu uses his Ginjōtan to extenuate and augment his natural speed, removing this will make his speed improve amidst the flow of battle, but weaken his overall defense. [color=black]—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color] [color=Gray]【[u]Zanpakutō[/u]】[/color] [Hider=Name][color=Gray][u]Zanpakutō Name:[/u][/color] Hien (Flying Swallow) [color=Gray][u]Zanpakutō Spirit[/u][/color] [url=https://pre00.deviantart.net/630f/th/pre/f/2014/260/c/6/my_owl_by_aivomata-d7yt0ph.png]Hien[/url] [color=Gray][u]Zanpakutō Personality[/u][/color] Hien is quite the opposite of Kizu, which may be why they work so well together. Hien is an androgynous spirit often times not known whether to be male or female, perhaps Hien is neither at all. For now at least, Kizu likes to see Hien as a female akin to his mother. Hien is a bird of freedom, a spirit that cannot endure captivity. This in turn allows Hien to meld with Kizu’s body and mind as if Hien was copiloting his body. Hien is everything Kizu is not, both elegant and graceful like water flowing through a narrow stream. Hien has almost no threshold for becoming agitated, so Hien is not easily or ever flustered in terms of combat or with Kizu’s raging behavior. Having stolen fire from the gods and having a forked tail as punishment, swallows know better than most how to treat a raging fire. Like Kizu, Hien likes to fly close to the ground and surface while feasting in flight, they fly close to danger and anything else. Hien is a dignified and courageous woman, facing danger without fear, and confidently confronts any challenge she encounters, especially in regards to fighting someone. Hien takes some pride in her fighting ability, and tells Kizu that she doesn't need a youngster like him to win. Hien is constantly portrayed as a brave woman, being able to bluff against most foes. As the master of Kizu, she skillfully employs harsh and apparently life-threatening training for her keeper, and is severe to Kizu, whose antics she doesn't tolerate during his training. Being the de facto leader of Kizu’s powers, she is an authoritative leader and reminds Kizu that his emotions are secondary to their goal of defeating any worthy adversary and rising to the top of the Gotei 13.

(Pierce Through Heaven and Earth, Flying Swallow!) [color=Gray][u]Appearance[/u][/color] [url=https://orig00.deviantart.net/66ec/f/2015/125/8/7/dante_custom_handguns_by_rune33-d8sbr99.jpg]Shikai[/url] [color=Gray][u]Abilities[/u][/color] Homing Bullets: The characteristic ability of Hien, and its most dangerous, is its ability to freely control the trajectory of its reishi bullets. Kizu is able to control the bullets with enough precision that he is able to control multiple bullets at once with pinpoint precision. Like a choirmaster controlling an orchestral concert, Kizu can achieve feats which include curving bullets with no apparent lag time, quickly changing the direction of bullets in a U turn fashion, and having them travel through spaces as small as pipes and crevices the size of an average bullet. Quick Draw: Much like the cowboys from the American wild west, Kizu has adopted the same ideology behind the quick draw. Cowboys were tested on how fast they could unholster their weapon and shoot first before they ended up dead themselves. Wanting to become the fastest gun in the land of the dead, Kizu has mastered the ability to summon his guns directly to his hands.
